It's only magnified 100 fold when you manage a bunch of spoiled millionaires on guaranteed contracts. It is a lot harder than just telling them to suck it up and be professionals.
Coach GG appears to be a very mellow person. His system is in some ways unconventional and he has no results to back it up and sell it to the players. All things considered, it's probably tough for the guys to go out there with any drive and confidence.

No offense but bull.
People are motivated short-term by traditional carrot/stick methodologies but in the long-term they are motivated by deeper items
Autonomy
Purpose
Mastery
And a lot of that comes from within and then a manager taps into it understanding what motivates specific individuals. We can debate how effective GG is at that, but I would say we have little to no insight on that.
These guys should be going out there with drive largely for self-motivation reasons. They have all sorts of reasons why they should "go out there with drive and confidence". If they can find those within themselves we have the wrong guys.
But to go back to my point, if I don't show up ready to work, I get fired. My manager isn't going to put a lot of time to try and motivate me. He's going to fire me.
